<h1>Welcome to the  Help page.</h1>

<h2>1 - Creating an experiment.</h2>
<b>1.1 - Getting started</b><br>
Begin creating an experiment by selecting 'create experiment' from the navigation bar on the left. <br>

<b>1.2 - Experiment creation form</b><br>
You will now be presented with a form for entering details relevant to your experiment. <br>

<b>1.3 - Naming and describing</b><br>
Begin by naming and describing the experiment, so that you can easily identify it at a later date. <br>

<b>1.4 - Start and end dates</b><br>
Next, give start and end dates for your experiment using the date picker. These will set the time period during which your experiment will accept participation from users. Before the start date, the experiment will not accept participants. Likewise for dates after end date. You cannot enter an end date that is earlier than a given start date.<br>

<b>1.5 - Minimum and maximum participants</b><br>
The next two fields are used to set the minimum and maximum participants required for your experiment, if any. By setting a minimum number of participants, the experiment cannot be closed until the number of participants who have completed the experiment is greater than or equal to the minimum number. The same applies for the maximum - once the number of participants who have completed the experiment is equal to the maximum, no more participant input may be accepted. If you do not require a minimum and/or maximum participant setting, simply enter 0 into the field.<br>

<b>1.7 - Conditions</b><br>
The last section of the experiment creation form requires you to set the number of conditions your experiment requires (see <a href="http://www.holah.karoo.net/experimental_method.htm">here</a> for more details).<br>

<h2>2 - Uploading files</h2>
<b>2.1 - Preparing files </b><br>
In order to upload your necessary files to the site, you will have to collect them in .zip files. A brief tutorial on zipping files can be found <a href="http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Compress-and-uncompress-files-zip-files">here</a>. Each condition you choose to include in your experiment will require a zip file of associated stimuli. <br><br>

<b>2.2 - The upload page </b><br>
On this page, there will be a number of upload dialogs based on the number of conditions specified on the experiment creation page. Use the 'Browse' button to navigate to your created .zip files, and give each a meaningful description for future reference. When you have provided .zips for each condition and given them descriptions, press 'Upload' to send the files.<br>
